I want to be buried without a coffin under a tree so that I can be nutrients. There are places that are zoned to do exactly that, and when I heard about it I was sold.

I plan on feeding the grass at Coachella once I'm gone. In ash form, though.

We were told that it is illegal to spread ashes anywhere but into the ocean. I don't know how that could possibly be monitored, but that's what we were told.

The same insider who told her that Coachella is going back to just one weekend, that's who.

Re: The Default Thread

I've actually heard the same thing. When my Grandpa died and cremated he wanted his ash spread in upstate New York where they owned a summer house. However the people told my grandma and aunt that in which turn they told my dad who told me. My Grandma ended up just keeping the ashes and a few years later she died. I have no idea what ever happened to the ashes. Cool story bro I know but point is she isn't the only one that has heard that.

Better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.

Couple years ago my wife had to go and pick up the ashes of her boss' mom, then had the joy of splitting the ashes up into several containers for the siblings. Loved hearing her screams of horror from the garage when doing so as a couple teeth rolled out of the bag. Hazard pay.

So I guess it depends according to the 3 minutes I spent online.....cr****

Many myths surround the practice of scattering cremated ashes. It doesn't help that the laws are often complicated, confusing or nonexistent. Knowing what the laws are or who to ask about them can save you from a lot of frustration and worry. One of the most common myths is that scattering cremated ashes is a hazard to the public's health. The truth is, once a human body has been cremated, it is no longer considered a health risk, so cremated ashes are usually not something federal or state officials are concerned with, according to the Funeral Consumers Alliance website.

It's illegal to spread your ashes on private property the same way it's illegal to litter, except people have actually been prosecuted for littering.

I'm about two keys .............:) cr****

How much of the body remains after cremation depends on the size of a person's former body weight.

The solids left after cremation are about 3 percent of the former body weight, so a corpse weighing 150 pounds (68 kilograms) produces about five pounds (two kilograms), or about 200 cubic inches, of remains.

Re: The Default Thread

The phrase "on private property" kind of implies that you're talking about private property which is not your property.

Sprinkle the ashes instead of bury them and be done. This is the silliest thing I've ever heard of. I had my dad spread in three different spots before noon the day I got my share of his ashes.

Re: The Default Thread

Yes, it does. Most people are not landowners. And regardless, if you're talking about your property you don't refer to it as just "private property," you'd refer to it as "my private property, also known as go fuck yourself" or something to that effect because I can't imagine the scenario where you own some land and are actually asking other people whether or not you can get ashes on your own land.

For 10 bucks I will take care of all the permits and notifying and other stuff and you can bury her in my backyard. I promise there will be no pools disturbing her.

... I cannot promise there will not be several dozen Native Americans and a couple of hookers somewhere nearby though.

Re: The Default Thread

I think, if I had a relative that died in some fashion that seemed ripe for it to be a haunting--not a commentary on your situation which I know nothing about, rather launching a brand new hypothetical--that I would use the threat of burying their ashes on my enemy's land as a weapon. Fuck with me and I'll bury my crippled younger brother under your summer home and his weird little skeleton will terrify your beachfront.

Paging Tom, Cara or anyone else who remembers where the posts are about that cargo sling thingy they were using instead of a backpack at ACL and chella year circa 2011. I'm not having much luck today with my search. Also, can anyone who knows what the fuck I'm talking about give it a glowing recommendation or was it all "new thing" hype?

Thanks and stuff
